Jody I remember you and Doug from youth choir at GSBC.. I also remember how much in love you were! He had a great voice and was a good friend to all who knew him.

Being in the ministry, I was not around High Point much, except to visit family.. I did see Doug when I was doing Bob Maxwell's(Carol and I were great friends in high school)funeral at Green St. some years ago and I saw Doug and we had the greatest time going down "memory lane". He was so proud of his kids and showed me pictures, talked about his life. I knew from that experience he was a man of great faith. I will be praying for all of his family during this time of grief and celebrating his life!

Message from Bob Phillips

I remember that resonant voice of Doug when he was in high school and a member of the Green Street youth choir, when I was the organist and accompanist there. How blessed High Point was, because he remained there to share his gift with the community!

Jody, John and I want to extend our deepest sympathy. We only knew Doug briefly, when he was on our tennis team but we really enjoyed you both. I remember him always smiling and being such a great tennis player! Prayers for your family.

Jody,
Doug was an inspiration to us all. A great friend to everyone. He had a beautiful smile and I always loved his laugh. His voice will live forever in his music. Jody, our prayers are with you all.

Message from Cherie Crosby

I remember Doug from Andrews High School. He was a talented and caring young man. He offered to sing a special song for me to my new husband at our reception, August 4, 1979, "Time in a Bottle" by Jim Croce. Although we weren't close friends, I will always treasure that memory he created for us that has followed us through our 37 years of marriage. I found the picture and will share it on Facebook where Susan Mitchell shared this heart breaking news in hopes you can see it. I didn't see a way to attach it on this page. Your family is in my heart as you travel this difficult road.

Message from Nancy & Frazier McGee

We are so sad at the passing of Doug. Our prayers go out to Jody and the boys. I will never forget his beautiful voice and always remember how joyous it was to have him sing at our wedding 9 years ago! Now his voice will be heard across the heavens for all to enjoy. May peace be with the family.

What a beautiful tribute to Doug's life. My prayers are with the family and friends. I knew his mom through church, Life on Lexington. I sent him a card just last year when she passed away, telling him how special and friendly his mother was to me. May God comfort and guide you through this time of mourning.

Message from Billie Davis

Jody, I am so sorry to hear of Doug's passing. He truly was an honest and sincere man and I so enjoyed my years of working with him at MedCost. I had the opportunity to speak to him once in recent months to tell him that I was praying for his recovery, and he was just as jovial and pleasant as I remembered him. In spite of his condition he was always interested in how others were doing. His love for Christ and his family was written all over his face. Please accept my condolences to you and your boys.

I'm very sorry to hear of Doug's passing. I grew up with Doug playing many a game of football in his back yard. Doug was one of the good guys from our old neighborhood. I am sure he will be missed by many.
